Crummy Winter Weather Challenge Week two (Nov 19-25)

Daremo - 2006-11-22 8:17 AM What happened to me?? I got left out of this. But I've only really had suckometer registerable stuff the last few days: 11/21 - R 51 minutes .... 35 degress (.5) ...... 11-15 mph winds (2) = 51 x 2.5 = 127.5 points 11/22 - R 57 minutes .... 35 degrees (.5) ...... 11-15 mph winds (2) - 57 x 2.5 = 142.5 points Winds were gusting to 25 today ...... but I'm not including that ....... Put me on the board!!

Once folks post workouts, I put em on the board.  There were a lot more who said they were in but not gonna go chasing folks around.  Welcome to the challenge and may your weather be sucktastic!!

Crummy weather workout 1.....this is for myself and Ellasdad....he's "suckitude calculationally challenged" and left me with determining the figures...

38.41 x (0+4+3) = 268.87

 I vote for a National Weather Service Warning Bonus...maybe a way for us in the South to keep up....maybe a .2 or .5 if the NWS has posted a warning for your area. If it doesn't over complicate things. Thoughts?!

thurs. 16 rode my fixie 30min then ran 20min in crazy rain with 25 mph wind gust while under a tornado warning it was 59 deg but hey a tornado warning should hold some suck factor. i almost got hit by a flying trash can lid...

wed. 22 ran with tri'nc 38.28 min during a nor easter 39 deg. flood warnings, 25 mph wind with 40 mph gust driving rain at 3inches in 3 hours of cold rain we ran in mud did i mention it sucked.

can someone score me because i'm a caveman in a modern world and your graphs and formulas confuse me .... thanks edde 

RE the NWS bonus, considering they routinely call for blizzards in these parts that fizzle out to nothing, I think we should stick with what its actually doing out there.  With all the internet radar and stuff, it is easy enough to see whats going on and squeeze one before the crud hits the fan under a warning if you wanted to.

The multiplier with above 30 is 0 and winds under 5 is 0.  So, time x 0= zero.  I could put it on the sheet, but wouldnt that just bum you out   ?

 Makes sense....

 I think us non-Alaskans are banking on you wimping out to have a chance at this thing  

Daremo - 2006-11-22 8:18 AM yes ........

I was afraid of that!

I'm okay with that!

major suck factor for wind today!!!  It was 17mph during the calm parts of my ride and 23+ during the rest with INSANE gusts.  Wind had calmed to 15 by my run.   Temp wasnt too bad (45)  

So 96 mins * (1 bike + 4 wind) =  480

12 min brick run  * 2 wind = 24

Total Thanksgiving suckage = 504!!!

Well, big heat wave in PA, in MN as well for all I know.  Highs in the 50s!

Being out of town, didn't list my points for last week:

sparco - M - 112.5

This week's points haven't been sucktacular:

sparco - T - 56 W - 26 Th - 6

Have been trying to get out earlier when the temperature is still low, but only able to roll out of bed by 9am and by then the temp's already in the mid 30s!

Don't get me wrong.  I love this weather, but it's just not boosting my crummy points...
